Ebenacobius turneri (Marshall, 1935) gen. et comb. nov. Figs 3H, 5F, 6Q Derelomus turneri Marshall, 1935: 139. Differential diagnosis Ebenacobius turneri gen. et comb. nov. can be distinguished by the combination of appendiculate claws and elytra with distinct but recumbent setae, as long as or shorter than width of interstriae. This species is very close if not conspecific with E. atratus gen. et comb. nov. (see remarks section). The two species have been distinguished based on vestiture of elytra (Guillermo Kuschel unpubl. data), the interstriae bearing a row of long, erect piliform setae (short, not or slightly raised squamiform setae in E. atratus ).
